Complete the coding record and set the necessary indicators

Prepare a deduction card P12 and pass it to your Employer section to issue, together with form P16 (guidance on how to complete the P12, and the Simplified Tables) if the employer has no other liable employees

Or, if the employer does have other liable employees

Prepare and issue card P12 to the employer
